Escape to empty spaces in Northumberland

Relaxation and wellbeing

Relax and unwind
Wellbeing is unique to everyone, and there are a number of ways to look after yours in Northumberland, one of the least-populated counties in England. Go off-the-beaten-track, reconnect with nature, explore remote landscapes, and simply relax.

Recharge your own batteries

Reconnect with nature by star gazing at our dark skies, booking a foraging excursion or spotting wildlife in our idyllic coastal and countryside landscapes.

Get your endorphins pumping with our hiking routes, mountain bike tracks or watersports. Wake up to sweeping scenic views on your doorstep, or pamper yourself in a spa hotel.

A soothing spa day is the first thing that springs to mind when you’re craving relaxation. In Northumberland, we have rural, converted country houses with breath-taking views from serene pool, sauna and steam room areas. Not to mention opulent, Georgian Manors that offer exquisite spa treatments.
